#989 – The Devil Rides Out

This is a movie that might be ripe for a remake. The Devil Rides Out is a family friendly version of Ben Wheatley’s Kill List.

Every line Lee delivers is amazing, the car chases are excellent and the creepy level is high. Special effects are terrible though, we’re talking sticky back plastic models and regular sized tarantula used to be a giant spider and paper-mache wings masking taped to a horse to serve as a demonic rider of the night. Entertaining, but the suspension of disbelief is killed stone dead.
